NOVEL WEB Chapter 655 - 655 Identity Verification
655 Identity Verification
“Shouldn’t the most important thing now be to investigate my father’s murderer?” Song Ci asked.
Lu Gan had an innocent look on his face. “Can we continue with the engagement after we find out?”
“Why are you still thinking about the engagement?”
“Isn’t that why we gathered today?” Lu Gan said confidently. “As the groom, shouldn’t I care about the engagement?”
!!
Song Ci was speechless.
The comments laughed out loud: [Of course, I’m concerned about the cause of your father-in-law’s death!]
[You’re not even married yet. How can you call yourself a groom? We, the fans, don’t agree with this title!]
[I told you that CEO Lu likes sister Song Ci. He keeps talking about the engagement. I think it’s CEO Lu who wants to get engaged, not Young Master Lu.]
[Very good. The murderer must first rule out the engagement brain of Young Master Lu.]
In the study, a model was sitting on a chair with a knife in his chest. It was obvious that it was a fatal wound.
Xie Chuan concluded. “After investigation, the victim’s time of death was between twelve to one o’clock. I asked the maid. At that time, there were only a few of you at home, so the murderer must be among you. Today, I’m the detective.”
“Congratulations, Butler! You’ve been promoted to detective.” Ji Yue applauded.
“Let’s go to the living room and sort out the timeline, then.” After Xie Chuan finished speaking, he led everyone to the living room.
Song Ci and Lu Gan returned to their original seats, and Ji Yue introduced herself. “I am Ji Furen, the owner of this place and the master’s wife. I was sorting out the guest list this morning, so I went to see Old Master at about one o ‘clock to confirm the list before I went back to my room. When it was time for lunch, I went to call master, but he said he wasn’t hungry and for us to eat first. I didn’t pay much attention to it. After lunch, I went back to my room to take a nap. I didn’t wake up until just now and went downstairs to entertain the guests.”
“You’re up next, Little Ci,” Xie Chuan said.
Song Ci cleared her throat. “I’m Little Ci. As my fiancé said, today is our engagement, so I got up at 9 a.m. to dress up. I only went downstairs when my best friend came looking for me. After that, my fiancé, Young Master Lu, and my friend, Gao Jing, also came. We chatted for a while. At 1 p.m., I had lunch with everyone. Then, I went back to my room for an afternoon nap. It was only at 1:30 p.m. when Young Master Lu came to look for me, and I went downstairs. At that time, only Gao Jing and my sister, Xu Qin were in the living room. Soon after, my younger brother, Young Master Di, came downstairs.”
“Young Master Lu,” Xie Chuan said.
Lu Gan coughed and put his arm around Song Ci’s shoulder.
Song Ci was confused.
Lu Gan hugged her and said unhurriedly, ” I’m Young Master Lu, the young master of Lu Real Estate Company. I’m also Young Miss Ci’s fiancée. This morning, I arrived here at around 10.30 a.m. with my friend, Gao Jing. Then, my beautiful and peerless fiancée, Young Miss Ci.” As he spoke, he smiled at Song Ci.
Song Ci was completely defeated by his series of words, and her face was slightly red. “Get to the point.”
“That is the main point. It’s just as Xiao CI said,” Lu Gan said with a smile.
“So your timeline and Little Ci’s timeline overlap, for the most part, right?” Xie Chuan asked.
“That’s right. After all, we’re loving fiancées.” As Lu Gan spoke, he glanced at Song Ci again.
Song Ci facepalmed. “Quick, the next one.”
The netizens laughed out loud.
[What should I do if my fiancé loves me too much?!]
[What should I do if my fiancé is too clingy?!]
[What should I do if my fiancé keeps looking at me?!]
[Young Master Lu, you’re too into the role.]
[How do you know it’s not a true expression?]
After a round of self-introductions, Ji Yue’s guests split into groups. She and Xie Chuan each led a group and prepared to search for evidence.
The villa had three floors. The second floor was for occupation, and the third floor was for decoration.
Song Ci looked at Lu Gan and whispered helplessly, “Can you restrain yourself a little? Young Master Lu, you’re acting crazy in love.”
‘How do you know that Young Master Lu doesn’t have a brain for love?” Lu Gan asked.
“Does he really?”
Lu Gan sighed. “How can you not know whether or not he loves you?”
Song Ci recalled the content of the script. It was written that Young Master Lu seemed to be very gentle and considerate to her…
‘So, this Young Master Lu was really in love?’ She thought, ‘That means he had a motive to kill my father…’
Xie Chuan assigned everyone to search the rooms, and Song Ci and Lu Gan went together.
The two went to Ji Yue’s room. Song Ci walked in and started rummaging through the bookshelf. When Lu Gan turned around, he saw Song Ci looking for a small box with a password. She was trying to figure out what the password was.
